I'm attempting to install Oracle 11g Client Installer on Windows Server 2008 R2. However, it crashes during the prerequisite check -- the bar reaches 100% and then the installer closes abruptly. No errors are generated in the log file, and this client installer has been deployed on multiple machines of the same configuration. As a result, it is somewhat baffling why it is crashing in this instance on this specific machine.

Did you take the time required to check the compatibility matrix, or read the documentation, to see if what you are trying to install is supported, tested, and compatible with 2008R2? I will guess in advance: You did not.

The same thing happens on my Dell Latitude E6150 laptop during the Client install for 11gR2 11.2.0.1. After the preq screen gets to 100 percent it just closes out. However I have installed this client on 3 other dell laptops within the last three days with no issues. Same exact hardware. here is my error log

hi,
the same issue on windows xp professional 32-bit and also with server instalation
